Maintenance
Note – Never attempt to remove dirt from
machine by blowing it off with compressed air.
This can cause dirt to be blown into critical
machine components and cause premature wear.
Never wash down or subject machine to
conditions causing moisture condensation as
serious equipment damage could result.
Regular slotted containers produce a great deal of
dust and paper chips when processed or handled in
equipment. If this dust is allowed to build-up on
machine components, it can cause component wear.
The dust build-up can best be removed from the
machine by a shop vacuum. Depending on the
number and type of boxes used in the case former,
this cleaning should be done approximately once per
month. If the boxes are dirty, or if the environment in
which the machine operates is dusty, cleaning on a
more frequent basis may be necessary. Excessive
dirt build-up that cannot be removed by vacuuming
should be wiped off with a damp cloth.
Cleaning of the Machine
Note – Wipe off excess oil and grease. It will
attract dust which can cause premature equip-
ment wear and jamming.
Lubrication
The Lubrication Chart shown in Figure 4-1 illustrates
the frame points which should be lubricated every
250 hours of operation. Lubricate the rotating and
pivoting points noted by the arrows with SAE #30
non-detergent oil.
WARNING – Disconnect air
supply to the machine before
beginning any maintenance, Failure to
do so could result in personnel injury
or damage to the machine.
